In this article, a novel circuit, which can function both as quadrature oscillator and universal biquad filter (lowpass, highpass and bandpass functions) is introduced. The features of the circuit are that, working as quadrature oscillator, the oscillation condition and oscillation frequency can be adjusted independently with the input bias currents: functioning as universal biquad filter, the ...

Abstract—We propose an analog integrated circuit that implements a resonate-and-fire neuron (RFN) model based on the Volterra system. The RFN model is a simple spiking neuron model that exhibits dynamic behavior observed in biological neurons, such as fast subthreshold oscillation, post-inhibitory rebound, and frequency preference. The RFN circuit was derived from the Volterra system to mimic s...

This paper proposes a high frequency ring oscillator with low power consumption. The proposed ring oscillator is based on Gated Ring Oscillator (GRO) by applying boot strap technique. Simulation results indicate that the FoM (Power Consumption /Oscillation Frequency) of the proposed ring oscillator is greater than that of the conventional ring oscillator. Figure 1 shows delay element using boot...

This article introduces a circuit which can function both as a quadrature oscillator and as a universal biquad filter (lowpass, highpass, bandpass). When the circuit functions as a universal biquad filter, the quality factor and pole frequency can be tuned orthogonally via the input bias currents. When it functions as a quadrature oscillator, the oscillation condition and oscillation frequency ...

We propose a self-complementary bow-tie antenna-integrated resonant-tunneling-diode relaxation oscillator and investigate its oscillation/radiation characteristics. In the investigation, we establish a physics-based equivalent circuit model of the oscillator for taking the all physical phenomena related to the diode and the antenna into consideration simultaneously. In this paper, we report the...

This paper presents an electronically controllable grounded capacitor quadrature oscillator using single multiple-output current controlled current differencing transconductance amplifier (MO-CCCDTA) as an active element. The proposed circuit employs a single MOCCCDTA, two grounded capacitors and one grounded resistor and offers the advantages of (i) independent control of condition of oscillat...

This paper presents a method for creating and distributing small, precision currents throughout an integrated circuit. The system is designed for use in a bionic cochlear implant. A bandgap reference and an off-chip precision resistor create a single precision reference current. This current is then converted into an oscillation frequency. This oscillation frequency is distributed losslessly ar...

A new voltage mode quadrature oscillator (VMQO) employing single Voltage differencing transconductance amplifier (VDTA), two grounded capacitors and one grounded resistor has been proposed.

In this paper, we propose a design of a current controlled Quadrature Sinusoidal Oscillator. The proposed circuit employs three optimized Multi-output translinear second generation current conveyer (MCCII). The oscillation condition and the oscillation frequency are independently controllable. The proposed Quadrature Oscillator frequency can be tuned in the range of [198 261 MHz] by a simple va...
